Beware of Fakes!
Poison has been terribly faked.
Here are some photos of a fake bottle and box that I had received in a large lot of Poison perfumes. I have found that the fake Poison boxes are imprinted with the same batch code "7A01" and the bottle has the same batch code. Shown in comparison is my own bottle of genuine Poison. Learn more about Poison at my blog site here.
Notice the shape of the collar.
The name Poison and Dior is a gleaming metallic gold finish on the real one,but a dull gold on the fake.
The genuine cap is thicker and not as opaque as the fake.
The genuine spray head has CD on the top, this is missing on the fake.
Notice the difference in the labels.
The mold lines in the fake bottle are not smooth on the genuine bottle.
Notice the printing on the box is off center here.
For more photo comparisons and tutorials on fake Poisons, please see the individual entries on Hypnotic Poison, Pure Poison, Midnight Poison and Tendre Poison.
Hypnotic Poison:
Here are some photos of a fake bottle and box that I had received in a large lot of Poison perfumes. All were factory sealed in cellophane. I have found that the fake Hypnotic Poison boxes are imprinted with the same batch code "6F02" and the bottle has no batch code. Shown in comparison is my own bottle of genuine Hypnotic Poison.

Notice the slight color difference and the lettering
Notice the difference in the collars and spray head.
Another view of the collars and spray heads. Also the fake bottle does not have the rubbery coating on the glass.
Notice the difference in the labels. On the genuine, the lettering is in a circular design following the shape of the bottle, whereas on the fake, it resembles the type of lettering shown on other Poison bottles. Also, the base on the fake has a strange circular mold line,not present on the genuine bottle, which is smooth.
On genuine bottles, the batch code will be printed or etched into the glass, on the fakes, they are missing batch codes.
On the fake, we can see a weird black mark in the glass or on the finish.
The mold lines on the fake are more pronounced and not smooth as they are on the genuine bottle. Also a slight color change.
The underside of the caps also have differences, the genuine capis thicker but the top is opaque so you can see light through it, the fake does not display this same property.
Notice the word "Natural" is misspelled on the box as "Naturl".
Pure Poison:
Here are some photos of a fake bottle and box that I had received in a large lot of Poison perfumes. All bottles were factory sealed in cellophane. I have found that the fake Pure Poison boxes are imprinted with the same batch code "8U02" and the bottle has a different batch code, "6F01" . Shown in comparison is my own bottle of genuine Pure Poison. To learn more about Pure Poison read my article here.
Here is a nice example of the sprayers. The fake one has a silver spray head, while the genuine has a matching collar and spray head.
Another view of the spray heads and again, you can see the difference in the glass.
Notice the differences in the labels on the base. The fake actually has the label for Tendre Poison Eau de Toilette!! On the genuine all wording is in white, on the fake, it is a goldish color. Notice the major differences in the glass too.
The mold lines on the fake are very pronounced and not smooth as on the genuine bottle,plus the opalescence is all wrong on the fake.
Midnight Poison:
Midnight Poison has been terribly faked. Here are some photos of a fake bottle and box that I had received in a large lot of Poison perfumes. There is no batch code on the bottle. I have found that the fake Midnight Poison boxes are imprinted with the same batch code "7J01". To learn more about Midnight Poison, you can read my article here.
Tendre Poison:
Tendre Poison has been terribly faked. Here are some photos of a fake bottle and box that I had received in a large lot of Poison perfumes. I have found that the fake Tendre Poison boxes are imprinted with the same batch code "6F01" while the bottles have batch code of "7A03".

Notice the word "Natural" is misspelled as "Naturl" on the box!
